風入松           (南宋) 吳文英 (1200-1260)

聽風聽雨過清明
愁草瘗花銘
樓前綠暗分攜路
一絲柳
一寸柔情
料峭春寒中酒
交加曉夢啼莺

西園日掃林亭
依舊賞新晴
黃蜂頻撲秋千索
有當時
纖手香凝
惆悵雙鴛不到
幽階一夜苔生

Tune:  Wind Through Pines     Wu Wen Ying (1200-1260) 江紹倫譯

Hearing the wind and drizzles in Qing Ming
Amid wild grass and flowers your elegy ring
We parted on the dark-green road by the bower
Each thread of willow
Each measure of tender feeling
I drown my grief with wine this chilly spring
Drowsily I awake as orioles sing

I sweep the West Garden grounds clean every day
To watch the fine view with you like in old days
Even wild wasps kiss the swing ropes where they alight
The sweet scent of your tender hands remain
In grief I look for traces of your ‘broidered shoes in vain
The vacant steps gathered moss through the night

憑欄人            (元)  喬吉(1280-1345)

金陵道中

瘦馬馱詩天一涯
倦鳥呼愁村數家
撲頭飛柳花
與人添鬓華

On My Way to Jinling        Qiao Ji   (1280-1345)

Tune: By the Railing              江紹倫譯

Lugging this load of poetry far I have strayed
Weary birds are wailing with me on my way
How willows shed their catkins to freely fly
As if to help my head’s grey shine

浣溪沙           (南宋) 吳文英 (1200-1260)

門隔花深舊夢遊
夕陽無語燕歸愁
玉纖香動小簾鈎

落絮無聲春墜淚
行雲有影月含羞
東風臨夜冷于秋

Tune: Silky Brook Sands       Wu Wen Ying (1200-1260) 江紹倫譯

I paced amid the flowers beyond the gate like in old dreams
The setting sun silently welcomes home doleful swallows
Your perfumed hand unhooked the curtain to close our window

Falling leaves quietly weep over the departing spring
Passing clouds cast shadows to veil a moon so bashful
Why the e’ning east wind is chill like an autumn blast

福建于山戚公祠

霜溪曲曲轉旌旗
幾許沙鷗睡未知
笳鼓聲高寒吹起
深山驚殺老闍梨

To War At Dawn                    Qi Ji Guang (1528–1587)     江紹倫譯

Banners undulate we marched along the frigid winding stream
Not even the sleeping waterbirds were aroused from their dreams
Suddenly our drums thundered and bugles shrilled
The deafening roar frightened even the old monks deep in the hills
